NFL International Games Info

NFL International Games are part of the regular season rather than preseason. They count toward the regular-season standings, and one team forfeits a home game to play away.

There have been 62 regular-season games played so far overseas in London, Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Madrid, Dublin, São Paulo, Mexico City and Toronto. This year's programme of nine games exceeds last season's record of seven.

London is still the main host. This year's games bring the total number of NFL regular-season games played in the UK since 2007 to 45, more than anywhere else in the world apart from the US.

2026 NFL International Games Schedule

Every game in London, Paris, Madrid and Munich begins at 9:30am ET, or 2:30pm London and Paris time, 3:30pm Madrid and Munich time.

NFL International Games History

The NFL first played a regular-season game in Mexico City in 2005, and London joined the international circuit in 2007. What was initially a single fixture per season at Wembley has grown into an integral part of the calendar, with a formalised stadium deal in London and other venues across Europe hosting the NFL every year.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was built specifically for NFL games, with a sliding pitch that retracts to reveal an artificial turf beneath, as well as NFL-designed dressing rooms. It is the only stadium outside North America designed from the outset to host American football as a primary use.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have played an integral role in London, appearing there every year since 2013. The Jaguars' two 2026 games in London will be their 15th and 16th games in the UK and the third time the franchise has played back-to-back games in London in the same season.

What's New in 2026

Three cities are seeing their first NFL regular-season games in history. The opening of the international slate is in Melbourne, at the MCG on Thursday 10 September, the league's first game in Australia. The NFL is heading to Rio de Janeiro next, with a game at the Maracanã on 27 September. Paris hosts the first NFL regular-season game at the Stade de France on 25 October.

Madrid returns to the Santiago Bernabéu for a second year in a row, after the Miami Dolphins beat the Washington Commanders 16-13 there in 2025. Munich returns for its third game at the Allianz Arena, having hosted the NFL in 2022 and 2024. The NFL returns to Mexico City for its fifth game in the city, and the first since 2022.

The London games will be especially significant, as the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles make their way to Tottenham on 11 October, while the Jaguars play back-to-back games at two London stadiums over the space of eight days.

How to Experience the NFL International Games

The NFL International Games in Europe offer a unique experience. Fans are largely non-partisan, with jerseys from every team represented, and the overall atmosphere feels more like a festival than a traditional home game. For most people attending, this will be the only NFL game they see live all year, and they approach it with a heightened excitement.

Since games don't start in the evening, they are really a full-day affair. Games in London start at 2:30pm, with fans arriving early for tailgating, NFL fan activation and other festivities.

They're also among the biggest venues in world sport. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was built for the occasion, Wembley holds 90,000, the Bernabéu and Allianz Arena are two of Europe's most iconic grounds, and the MCG holds more than 100,000. Few NFL stadiums in the United States can match that list.

100% Authentic NFL International Games Tickets with Buyer Protection

All listings are vetted prior to going live, and funds aren't released until your tickets are confirmed as being received. Should a seller not deliver, if the tickets aren't what the listing states, or should the game get cancelled, buyer protection is there for you.

International games suffer from a particular access issue. Tickets are released via a mixture of NFL ballots, team presales, and venue-specific allocations, and each country hosts the event in its own way. Registration typically opens several months in advance, ballots are hugely oversubscribed, and when general sale happens — and not all markets get one — it lasts just a few hours.

London is the most difficult. Three games in a market that already possesses one of the largest NFL followings outside of the US guarantees that demand will outstrip supply, and the Eagles' match will be the hardest to come by across the European games as they are coming to town as defending champions.

There is also a nominated home team per fixture, which dictates seating areas and which side of the ground will be the louder end. Make sure you know which team is playing at home before you pick a seat.

NFL International Games Ticket Prices

Prices vary by city, venue, and game.

Munich, Madrid and Mexico City will likely be the easiest games to get into. Outside of London, European games tend to be priced lower than UK fixtures, while Mexico City has historically been the cheapest international game on the calendar.

London will be the most expensive across Europe. Both Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley Stadium have higher prices due to the fact that three games are being played in one of the largest NFL markets outside of North America. The most affordable tickets will be found in the upper levels behind the end zones; the halfway line and club level are much pricier.

Melbourne and Rio are the wildcard games. They are new to the NFL International Games, so there is no data to base ticket prices on. The level of interest in these games will depend on how high the NFL's popularity is in these countries and whether fans have ever witnessed an NFL match live.

Hospitality packages will cost significantly more than standard tickets at all stadiums, often including food and beverage, better seats, and sometimes even pitch-side access.

When to Buy NFL International Games Tickets

The schedule was released in May, and official sales began over the summer. As the Melbourne game is in mid-September and the London games in early October, we're now weeks away from the tournament window.

For the three London games, buy now. They'll be the first to sell out and the prices tend to get firmer, not softer, as the date approaches. The Eagles versus Jaguars game on 11 October is the standout, with the reigning Super Bowl champions in the market that follows the NFL most closely.

For Paris, Madrid and Munich, there's a little more room. But Paris is a first-time host and demand has been strong right from the start. For Melbourne, Rio and Mexico City, the playing field is wider, and the supply has been easier to come by than in Europe.

A heads-up on planning that often catches people out: these are Sunday afternoon games in some of the biggest weekend travel destinations globally. Hotel prices in London, Paris and Madrid go up sharply during NFL weekends, and the three consecutive Sunday games in October in London make it even steeper.

Latest NFL International Games News
